L.L.Bean shirt update...

Posted by Indydawg from 168.9.41.100 on March 27, 2001 at 12:39:12:

Well, it looks like we have been misled by a well-intentioned rep at L.L. Bean. Maverick forwarded these emails to me that came to him this weekend from L.L.Bean concerning what he was told. I still say that this is a viable option and that, if enough of us called them asking about it, they would consider making the color addition. With Maverick's permission, I intend to get involved with this in more than an advisory manner, and see what I can find out...so stay tuned!

PS-See below this for the copies of the emails that L.L.Bean sent.

Later ya'll!

Hey man,

L.L. Bean emailed me today. "Trish" regreted to tell me that they could not special order new colors. I am still going to contact
them and ask why I got the run around and a sincere proposal (17 shirts @ $45 each) if it was never true. I figure there had to be
some truth to it in the first place. I'll forward the reply that was sent to me.
